meme: more than meets the eye

[seriesofbaddecisions]

It's a slow work day and I've spent the last like hour and a half trying to decide between memes and here's one we haven't done since last September that might be helpful for people, and new characters can ping in too!


There are certain characteristics about the people we play that *we* know, but we get tired of repeating in every introductory ping. There's also stuff that players wouldn't really be able to figure out just looking at an icon--how tall someone is, if they have an accent, what kind of clothes they are wearing...and in some cases, if their eyes/hair/whatever are different than the PB we've picked.

So wax poetic about what your characters look/sound like, if they have tics or scars, if they have a distinct singing voice, etc!

Lucifer Morningstar

- is tall, standing at 1.91 meters or 6'3''.
- is pretty much always wearing an expensive suit (no ties) with a matching pocket square, unless otherwise indicated by the narrative.
- 'reflects humans' desires back at them', per very recent canon, which mostly just means 'people are more than usually inclined to think he's attractive' on top of, y'know, Tom Ellis's general pre-existing level of attractive.
- does not always wear eyeliner, but definitely wears it a lot of the time.
- has a manic quality to him a lot of the time, unless he's being openly sarcastic or vulnerable.
- has a nice, smooth baritone when he sings.
- if he's especially angry about something, his eyes can flash red, and if he goes full devil-face, he suddenly looks a lot more like the devil from the picture books.
- is also an angel and has his beautiful, elaborate white wings hidden all of the time. He's scared to look. Because angels 'self-actualize', when he falls headfirst into self-hatred, they start looking like demon wings.
- sounds extremely British, because in the actor's words, people let you get away with anything when you say it in a British accent.
- is a celestial being, so if that's something you can notice, you can, well, notice.
- can and will touch things. A lot. Dirty and not dirty.
- canonically speaks every human language in history
- wears a ring with a black stone on his right hand that we finally got backstory for recently but that I will never reference IG unless I absolutely have to on account of having a weird jewelry squick. It was originally taken from the Garden of Eden.

Hey, question! Does this Lucifer use the title "Lightbringer"? Because Wei Wuxian's future husband's title is "Light Bearing Lord", sometimes translated as "Light Bringing Lord". I feel like there's something that could be done with that. Especially when the kids show up.

Oh, so that's a complicated one - Show!canon associates the 'Lightbringer' title with Lucifer's pre-fall name Samael and he is extremely touchy about that name. Possibly also the title. It's definitely one he'd recognize, though.

Ok, so it's not likely that Wei Wuxian would hear that title in passing, and he wouldn't be asking. I'll just let you know if anyone coming to town might be asking for that title and you can let me know if you want to do anything with it then.

I'm always game to play with fun canon overlaps, so yes, please do!
